Easy Frozen Hot Chocolate Recipe

With the summer heat rolling in, we are all looking for any way to cool off, and what sounds like a better solution than frozen hot chocolate! After searching around the internet, I found that there were many different frozen hot chocolate recipes. After much trial and error, I ended up making my own frozen hot chocolate recipe that I believe is the best combination of easy-to-make and amazingly delicious.

Hot chocolate mix (I used Land-O-Lakes Single Serve Cocoa classics, you can also mix it up by using mint flavored hot chocolate)

1/3 cup of water

1 cup ice

1 cup milk

1/2 tbsp on chocolate syrup

Step 1: Heat up 1/3 cup of water in microwave for about 30 seconds and mix with hot cocoa powder (mixture shown in the picture below). Then place in freezer for a couple minutes to cool while you move on to the next step. (NOTE: Check out other types of hot chocolate mixtures that might be fun to use, for example, I have made this recipe using mint hot chocolate powder, which was super good!)

The first think everyone always asks is “how is this different than chocolate milk?” At least to me, hot chocolate mix has a very distinct taste that is different that chocolate milk.

This has to be one of my favorite dessert drinks. I am actually not a big fan of hot chocolate (because I always burn myself), but this alternative is perfect because it has all the taste without the chance of burning yourself. I also personally think that you can taste the chocolate better when it is cold. If you try it out be sure to let me know what you think!
